Anniversary Day.

That cruel war which the brothers of
our nationality fought, not many years
ago, so wasted the life blood of our fathers
and brothers, that i, left in its tracks, if
not felt so sensitively to-day, still produ-
ces throb or thrill of patriotic feeling
when the day comes to show our sympathy,
our love or our regret over the graves of
those who were martyrs to the cause. The
anniversary of Decoration Day has silver
lining to its sorrows. 1t brings in, at this
time of the year much needed holiday
and all classes. all natlonalities, neither
blessed nor blasted by the war, lay aside
their business and give themselves up to
true enjoyment at this most agreeable sea-
son of the year. To enjoy this fully, father
husband, son and brother must be bedeck-
ed in the best that their means and taste
can afford, and they all do it too, to the
best of their ability. While in search of the
good or the cheap, for yourselves and your
children and your children's children do
not fail to turn your steps toward the B..

About Dry Goods.

1t is not our intention to write diffuse
article on dry goods, but enough simply to
distract the attention of our readers from
that mythical notion many have, that there
Is nothing good in Jersey, and that they
must cross river to purchase their goods.
1t may be, that at some special sales they
may, at times, somewhere else fnd advan-
tages ia some articles; but for every day
purchases through all the changing sea-
sons of the year, we have in our midst
an establishment that in the value, rsri-
ty and prices of its goods compaers fav-
orably with any, here or elsewhere. 1t is
with satisfaction that most, among the best
of our householders, as well as the buyers
of all the varied fabrics for ladies wear,
go direct to T.. 9. Brown Il Van Anglep,
Il Newark avenue, to make their selee-
tions, and never think of turning their
steps elsewhere We would call the atten-
ton of our lady readers to their advertise
ment IN our columns to-day, and would
ask that IN our future issues that they do
not forget to look and see the inducements
they are always offering.

Spun Last Night.
The rescue, after fall from the Hoboken
river wall into the river, OF the six year old
son of J. W. Won Holten, of No, 81 Wash
ington street. as teld in the journal" last
evening, has all the romance taken out of
it by the cold facts. Mrs Mangin said to
News reporter that she did not burst
through a crowd of staring men to make
the rescue. There was not, in fact, man
within fifty feet of her. Her plain unvarn-
ished tale is this She was in Hudson
Square Park with her two children, when
the eldest, little Jimmie, came to where
she was sitting, about IS feet away, and told
her there was little boy in the water.
There was quite large number of men
women and children lounging in the park.
but no one was quite near. Mrs. Mangin
tried to reach the boy as he had tumbied
off the wall, and was apparently drowning.
She found she could not, and the water
being not over five feet deep, she jumped
in and rescued the boy in drowning CON
dition. After getting him out of the water
and using the means at hand he recovered
consciousness, and was taken home by his
rescuer. She is suffering from a very
severe cold from the effects of the cold
bath, as the water seemed very cold

we have already said, Newark is net only
the natural centre of the State; but is the
oaly place, not New York suburb, readily
reached from ell parts of New Jersey and
big enough to afford ample facilities for
celebration. We cannot, of course,
expect that the superiority of our adj
vantages will be conceded promptly and
cheerfuIy by all the other cities and towns
of the State. Local pride impels even the
citizens of city so out of the way as Tren-
ton to put in claim; and, with a perSist-
ence that doss them credit, the people of
Jersey City actually demand that the State
Centennial shall be observed there. We
respectfully submit that if the celebration
were held in Trenton majority of our fell
low J Gym N would be obliged to travel
thithc. ywyof Newark. If it were in
Jers y y most of the people of that
btrgh v, Id, by sheer force of habit, go
over 10 Wy rk to see the show. Our
own Conn n G uncil has now appoined a
committee to as with the celebration COM
mittee already in existence. We depreoate
the rivalry Of Trenton and Jersey City and
are willing to compromise on Newark as the
fittest place for the Centennial"

THE HALP-HOLIDAY LAW.
It was Generally Observed In New York
Yesterday.

Yesterday.
The half-Saturday holiday law, which
was put on the Statute books in New York
last Monday, by the signature of Governor
Hill, went into operation yesterday for the
first tire and was almost universally taken
advantage of. Indeed, judging from the
appearance of lower New York city after
MONDAY yesterday, it would not be a great
surprise to many people if many business
houses will. during the summer at least,
abandon all business on Saturday. Partic-
ularly will this be SO among the brokers
and financial institutions of the metropolis.
All the exchanges-the stock, petroleum
and mining, cotton and produce-were
generally vacated after the MONDAY hour
and all banking was suspended after that
hour. The half-holiday craze even spread
to the elevator boys, and all the week the
"boys" sought the tenants of the different
buildings for signatures to petitions grant
ing the closing of one elevator-where
there were two-at noontime. By clock
everything down town was almost as quiet
as Sunday
